Requests for deletions

high

Attention administrators: This message is appearing because there are more than 20 open requests at Wikidata:Requests for deletions. Please consider helping with the backlog.

Any discussion with no reply for a week will automatically moved to Archive by Hazard-bot or Revibot I.

If you are opening new thread about Revibot, go to Bot's talk page.

Admins: As long as you talk to me you reversed my admin action and why you did so, I do not object my admin actions being reversed.

If you request something here, I will make an entry on my personal To-Do management system with a reference to your request, and handle it in first-in first-out basis. I do try to do things as soon as possible but there is no guarantee.

Wikidata integration in the other Wikimedia projects: We are preparing to reach out to editors about improving specific templates that are written in a way that creates a lot of unnecessary entries in Recent Changes and Watchlists.
Mobile statement editing: We are getting close to having editing support for all datatypes. We are currently still working on the support for globe coordinates. We also added support for showing constraint violations on qualifiers and references.
Data quality: We are doing technical investigations about how to make constraint violations available for querying again.
GraphQL: We are getting ready to make GraphQL available on Wikidata later this week.

Wikidata weekly summary #721

Latest comment: 4 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata in the
week leading up to 2026-03-02. Missed the previous one? See issue #720.

Discussions

Closed request for adminship: Jan Myšák: Closed as successful, congratulations to Wikidata's newest admin!
New request for comments: Notability Policy - Round 2: we are still requesting your input on the new Notablity policy. Including whether to elevate the self-promotion essay to a policy.

Events

Upcoming events:
- Next Linked Data for Libraries LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group session 3 March, 2026: We have our next LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Session on Tuesday, March 3 9am PT / 12pm ET / 17:00 UTC / 6pm CET (Time zone converter). Wikiproject P244 maintenance uses SPARQL queries to identify and resolve two types of constraint violations in Wikidata: instances of Wikidata items with more than one LCNAF identifier and instances of the same LCNAF identifier existing on more than one Wikidata item. The February 17th session walked participants through how to resolve the former issue, while the March 3rd session will focus on the latter. This session will be more discussion-focused, since instances where two LCNAF identifier have the same Wikidata item can be difficult to resolve because of Wikidata’s innate quirks. Maybe your ideas will become the official best practice! Event page: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Affinity_Group/Project_Series/LCNAF_Duplicate_Detection_P244_Maintenance
